Dixit Dominus by Giuseppe Belloni — Lyrics
Psalmus David. Dixit Dominus Domino meo: sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos
scabellum pedum tuorum.
Virgam virtutis tuae emittet Dominus ex Sion: dominare in medio
inimicorum tuorum.
Tecum principium in die virtutis tuae in splendoribus sanctorum:
ex utero, ante luciferum, genui te.

About Dixit Dominus
Giuseppe Belloni's Dixit Dominus sets the powerful words of Psalm 110, a key text for Vespers and a psalm of messianic significance. The Latin text speaks of God's promise to his anointed, exalting him to his right hand and granting him dominion over his enemies. Belloni's setting for SATTB choir captures the scriptural grandeur. The music unfolds with a majestic sweep, reflecting the psalm's regal pronouncements and divine authority. It is a substantial and dramatic setting, suitable for a choir capable of handling its rich textures and dynamic contrasts. The work embodies the solemnity and spiritual depth often associated with sacred choral music of this tradition.
